Yoga and meditation sessions are offered at some lodges, retreats and beach resorts.

Are meditation or yoga sessions offered?

Spa treatments, yoga and wellness sessions are available at some lodges and beach resorts, but not at every safari camp.

For a honeymoon or slower itinerary, choose accommodation where the wellness facilities are part of the reason to stay rather than trying to add a treatment during a rushed one-night stop.

Book popular treatments in advance during busy periods.

Check the operating rules before the day

Adventure and specialist activities may have age, weight, height, weather or fitness requirements. These are set for safety and can vary by operator.

If an activity is important enough to shape the trip, confirm availability and participation rules before paying for the wider itinerary.

What this means for your itinerary

If wellness is important, choose accommodation where it is part of the property's regular programme.

Weather can change an activity plan

Walking, boating and aerial activities are more sensitive to weather than an ordinary city visit. A responsible operator may delay, reroute or cancel when conditions are unsafe.

Build some flexibility into the day and follow the decision of the qualified guide or activity operator.

Before you book or travel

  • Confirm age, height, weight or fitness requirements before booking.
  • Check whether the activity is weather-dependent.
  • Tell ESA Safaris about mobility concerns or previous injuries.
  • Follow the safety briefing and use the supplied equipment as instructed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if weather is unsuitable?

The operator may delay, reroute or cancel for safety. Alternative arrangements depend on the booking terms and local conditions.

Can I skip an activity?

Usually, but refunds are not automatic. Tell the guide early so transport and meal arrangements can be adjusted where possible.

How do I know if an activity is suitable for me?

Check the real walking, fitness, age or equipment requirements rather than relying only on labels such as 'easy' or 'adventurous'.

Do activities need advance booking?

Popular or capacity-limited activities often do. Booking early also allows time to check participation rules.
